– physiological changes associated with fear, anger or excitement occur automatically as a result of our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
– the ANS has two branches:
1) sympathetic branch or sympathetic nervous system (SNS)
[it performs actions involved in the fight/flight response (aka the stress response) | it produces feelings associated with fear/anger]
2) parasympathetic branch or parasympathetic nervous system
– the relaxed state [also known as “rest & digest”]
